AI Article Synopsis
- Class III malocclusion is challenging to treat, often requiring maxillary protraction to address underlying maxillary retrognathia.
- A 16-year-old Vietnamese girl exhibited severe anterior crossbite and Class III malocclusion, characterized by a prognathic mandible and retrognathic maxilla, without any noted medical issues.
- The recommended treatment involved using multiloop edgewise archwire (MEAW) alongside temporary anchorage devices (TADs) and modified Class III elastics, offering a non-surgical camouflage therapy for this condition.
Article Abstract
One of the most difficult types of malocclusion to cure is Class III malocclusion. Maxillary protraction is a common component of orthodontic/surgical treatments for Class III individuals since maxillary retrognathia is the primary factor contributing to their condition. A Vietnamese girl of 16 years old presented with severe symptoms of anterior crossbite and Class III malocclusion of the skeletal and dental structures. Among the dental characteristics were a prognathic mandible, retrognathic maxilla, and proclined lower incisors. The medical history revealed no abnormalities. Since the patient refused to undergo orthognathic surgery, we suggested using multiloop edgewise archwire (MEAW), which combines temporary anchorage devices (TADs) with modified Class III elastics for camouflage treatment of Class III malocclusion. This case illustrated the use of TADs. MEAW combines TADs with modified Class III elastics for camouflage therapy. It is a potentially effective treatment option for adolescents diagnosed with Class III skeletal malocclusion.

Article Synopsis
- Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is effective for treating heart failure but is under-researched in patients with common comorbidities like atrial fibrillation (AF).
- The SMART registry enrolled 2035 patients to assess CRT response based on clinical outcomes over 12 months, focusing on factors like all-cause mortality, hospitalizations, and quality of life.
- Results showed 58.9% of patients improved, but factors like age, AF, and diabetes were linked to lower CRT responsiveness, with patients having AF experiencing higher rates of hospitalizations and mortality compared to those in normal rhythm.

Objective: The primary focus of this investigation was to evaluate the biomechanical effects of high trimline design aligners on the distalization of mandibular molars, employing three-dimensional finite element analysis (3D-FEA). The study concentrated on aspects such as tooth movement, stress distribution, and anchorage control.
Methods: Utilizing Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data, a detailed 3D geometrical model was constructed for finite element analysis.
